A TCA peel sounds like it would be a good treatment for you. I personally would not go higher than a 20% TCA for your skin type, or there is a greater risk of darkening the skin temporarily (postinflammatory hyperpigmentation). I would find a doctor with experience peeling people with your skin tone.
